Here's hoping...
...we see many repeats of THIS during the upcoming Pens-Rangers grudge match.
And yes, that's the Pen's own Jarkko Ruutu showing Jaromir Jagr how it's done. -
Sweep!
And the Senators go down in four! On to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where I kind of hope we face off against the hated Washington Capitals since, as my friend James puts it, the three constants in life are death, taxes, and the Pens will play the Caps in the second round of the playoffs. -
Dear FedEx
What kind of fucking illiterate, incompetent Neanderthals do you have working for you? Seriously, how can these truck jockeys be completely unable to tell the word RIVER from the word FRONT when the former is goddamn clearly inscribed on the package! Shit, most of the higher apes could probably do a better job than whatever GED hacks you people ( Read more... ) -
FANTASTIC!
So while I'm not sold on the whole multinational team aspect of the live-action G.I. Joe they're doing, I'll go see it for Christopher Eccleston as Destro alone. -

Kind of a throwaway thing, but ( Read more... ) -
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Three and a half years ago on this very journal, I wondered why I did not yet own Blade Runner on DVD. Now I know why. I was waiting for the final cut of the film.
I think we've finally got the definitive version of the film. And the extras are oh-so-nice, even though I've still not finished the Dangerous Days documentary. My one gripe is that ( Read more... ) -
The iron constitution fails...
I left work sick today. Probably the best thing that's happened all week, especially since Sci-Fi is running a Galactica season 3 marathon. -
It's dead, Jim.
Well, the limiter on my sarcasm chip, anyway. Any time anyone asks me how I'm doing, I respond with something to the effect of "serving another day in glorious worker's paradise of people's Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" in the most forced-cheerful voice I can. 'Cause after all, in glorious People's Commonwealth, job works you ( Read more... )
